minutes after my mushrooms had arrived, the waiter came over to say that they had (9)
…………….…. out of salmon. He went (10) ………………………. to say that they would be closing at
midnight. It was already 11.30. The head chef of La Clara likes to try (11) ……………..…. one new
dish every day. This is called the Chef's Special, I decided to have this - a not-particularly-
exciting pasta dish – for the main course. It wasn't bad, but the waiter kept (12) …………………….
coming over to see if we had finished. We hadn't. I'll leave (13) ……………….…. a description of
